Answer

  • NetApp custom MIB contains detailed descriptions of data retrieved from appliances via common SNMP clients.
  • The MIB is formatted such that these clients can read it while querying the server, and display descriptions and data at the same time.
  • These are available on NetApp Support Site > Tools > ONTAP MIBs for different ONTAP 9 versions.
  • There are two zipped files in the download: netapp.mib.Z and traps.dat.Z.
  • The netapp.mib file can be retrieved by extracting the .z / .zip / .tar.gz file using file compression software like 7zip etc.
  • You will need to replace the existing default netapp.mib file that is in the /mroot/etc/mib directory on each node in the cluster with the one obtained from the respective package downloaded for the ONTAP version running on the cluster.
  • Each ONTAP system stores the MIB on the root volume, under /mroot/etc/mib
